Neutrogena Build-A-Tan, $10.69 Form: Gradual tan building lotion
Tester rating: Good
Review: "On a pale face like mine, Neutrogena Build-A-Tan turns skin at least two shades darker with one application. I only applied it every three days for fear of turning Oompa Loompa orange. Unlike stinky self tanners, this one had a light, beach-y smell and only a slight whiff of chemicals and it dried in less than five minutes (read: no standing around the house naked for half an hour). I also liked the no-fumbling pump top. My only problem was with streaking. This product wasn't as forgiving as Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer; if you're not a pro at applying around ankles and elbows, you'll get splotches and streaks. -- Colleen

I have tried the Jergen's gradual tan lotion before and it seems to work just fine on my skin. I definitely did not look orange at all. It was a nice, warm bronzed glow. It took 3 days of applying to see any results which was my only complaint but once that 3rd day rolled around, I saw a nice color on my skin!! I've also tried Sevin Nyne from Sephora. This was an aerosol spray tan that was a deep tan color once sprayed onto my skin. I think this spray worked awesome and I saw results as soon as I applied it!!!! It's a bit pricey but well worth the money if you're looking for instant tan results and no orange color.

I only tried one of these, it was by Lancome, and my skin looked absolutely ridiculous. I looked like an orange alien
